The Third Reich in Desperation

Although almost all the generals promoted by Reinhardt proved their abilities in the subsequent wars, they were by no means the likes.Although Reinhardt has indeed influenced the development of Germany, as far as it is concerned, this development is also evolving in a good direction.

Forming a party for personal gain?You Junkers played better than anyone else before!Still young?How many Junker officers in the old army have no higher qualifications than those promoted by Reinhardt? !

Many insiders understand that the rights of the Junker class have been weakened by Reinhardt one after another, and they have long been impatient.

After Reinhardt's presidential election that year, the Juncker Consortium has been torn apart, and it was divided by Reinhardt.

Now, there are still a small number of stubborn Juncker generals who always want to win the round.

"Hey, General Witzleben!" Surrounded by two SS guards, Reinhardt walked towards a group of officers headed by Witzleben: Chief of Staff Baker too?Hey, isn't that General Hammerstein?They're all there, they're all there. "

The former Leipzig city mayor Gödeler, who was slightly behind, had the idea of ​​slipping away when he saw the head of state coming.For some reason, he always felt that the smiling Reinhardt would give him a sense of oppression.

This feeling is derived from his countless experiences of reading people. It is groundless, but there has never been a deviation!

Just as Gordel moved back quietly, Reinhard rushed up with a smile on his face and grabbed his hand, and said with a hearty laugh: "Mr. See you. I heard that you have deep friendship with many politicians, business leaders, Catholic and Christian clergy, diplomats and soldiers, and even many foreign dignitaries are your friends. We must have a good chat someday. "

What Reinhardt said seemed to be flattering, but to Gordeler's ears, he was trembling with fear and sweating profusely.It's true that he has contacted all walks of life in the country and some dignitaries abroad, but they are all for the secret organization he belongs to.

The ultimate purpose of contacting these people is to overthrow Reinhardt's rule and let the Junker nobles die!

Just when Gödeler looked at Reinhard guiltily, the other party had already gone to talk to Wetzleben, and he didn't care about him.It seems that the head of state has not noticed what his group of people are doing.

Wait until Godel curiously leans over to listen.Depend on!What are Reinhardt and Weitzleben talking about? !

I saw Reinhard hooking Wetzleben's shoulders, and said loudly with "extreme enthusiasm": "General! Actually, I really didn't mean to replace you as the commander of the Third Military District of Berlin. It's really the two of us now. The troops were divided on the front line, and the troops were empty, so I dismantled your people and sent them to the 30th Infantry Division, the heroic division in the Polish campaign, as a supplementary source of troops."

Originally, Weitzler planned to use his army in Berlin to launch a coup and quickly control Reinhardt to create an established situation.For this reason, they even sent people to secretly contact the British government to seek internal and external cooperation.

It is a pity that British Prime Minister Chamberlain blindly pinned his hopes on the policy of appeasement, and rejected Witzleben, the German internal resistance force, for help, and did not give diplomatic support.

During the negotiations between the Wetzleben rebel group and the United Kingdom, the three SS divisions led by Model happened to arrange the garrison around the Witzleben army, so that the rebel group's idea of ​​a coup d'etat was temporarily dispelled.

Then, Reinhardt split up the troops under Witzleben's command step by step and added them to the various troops that continued to replenish the source of troops after the Polish campaign, further emptied him, a polished commander, and completely dispelled the coup ideas of this group of people.

"Führer, I have no objection to the country's arrangements." Witzleben replied respectfully.

His expression was very respectful, at least, it looked very respectful on the surface.

"The Wehrmacht originally existed for the needs of the empire. It is the force of the empire. For Germany, they can obey any arrangement." Witzleben slapped Reinhardt in as objective a tone as possible: "and the SS Not the same, the national defense force is not a private armed force loyal to a certain person, so they will not have objections to the country's arrangements because of the personal likes and dislikes of their leaders."

Reinhardt doesn't need a human being, he immediately realized that the guy with feelings is scolding me in different ways!

At this time, the SS is brought in, isn't it just to say that the SS is inferior to the Wehrmacht, and you look down on the SS.

Reinhardt, who already knew that Weitzler planned to kill him, sneered in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that you are too famous to start, do you think I would leave you as a scourge until today?

Look down on the SS?It doesn't matter, I, Reinhardt, don't need to argue with a dead man.

"It's General Wetzleben who understands my thoughts! As expected, he is the most outspoken and loyal minister of the empire. At this time, we should follow what you said. The whole country's military and civilians are united to face the threat of Britain and France bravely!" Rein Hart seemed to have not understood what Wetzleben said just now, and what he said was not what Wetzleben meant.

It has to be said that this guy's method of calling a deer a horse is really sharp, and his voice is loud enough.After two or three sentences, it seemed that he and Weitzle had been friends for a long time and cherished each other.According to his point of view, it seemed that Witzleben's previous public and private remarks against him had turned into blunt persuasive advice, which was deliberately spoken to him.

Not to mention others, even many insiders who were in the know with Witzleben were confused after Reinhard made a friendly gesture with Witzleben full of nonsense.

It looks like... Could it be that Witzleben and the Führer have always had a good relationship?

Body 2 Chapter [-] Assassination of Reinhardt

Johann George Elsey was a skilled German carpenter.On weekdays, he is taciturn and lives in seclusion. Apart from his own work, he rarely communicates with people around him because of other things.

But in fact, he was a British spy who was bought by the UK and had German nationality.

Looking at Wetzleben who was shoulder to shoulder with Reinhardt in the distance, Elsey just smiled secretly.

On weekdays, this Weitzler would have expressed his dissatisfaction with Reinhardt a lot, but in the end it was not an act of hypocrisy.Those so-called objections are probably what he had discussed with Reinhardt a long time ago.The purpose is to achieve this kind of effect that seems to bury the hatchet and create a thriving scene.

But it doesn't matter, as long as two more hours pass, these hypocrites will all die!

As early as last night, after the people in the beer hall dispersed, he sneaked to drill holes in the pillar behind the podium where Reinhardt was going to give a speech, and planted the bomb that had been prepared long ago.

The sawdust produced by the drilling has been swept away, and the time of the explosion is also set at 10:15 am, which is halfway between 10:11 and [-]:[-] of the speech time announced by Reinhardt.

Elsey was a man of great care and at the same time great courage.For this assassination operation, he prepared a full 50 kilograms of explosives, 6 timers, detonator wires and batteries and other materials.He is confident that after today, he will be recorded in the history textbooks of future generations!

Elsey, who thought her hands and feet were clean, smiled and chatted with the two German officers beside him while waiting for the result.

"Where did we talk just now?" Lieutenant Colonel Triskaw, who started the conversation, looked at the Al Raceway absent-mindedly.

Tyskau was unaware of Elsay's assassination plan, but he knew of Weitzleben's opposition to Reinhardt.He even received an invitation to join the opposition group in Wetzleben!

But in the end he chose neither to expose nor to join.

Although he often opposes Reinhardt's radical methods, but now he is only in the stage of opposing opinions, and has no intention of overthrowing Reinhardt and his staff.Even if it is to be overthrown, he also feels that he should wait until the general trend is over before overthrowing it.

But an accidental discovery today made him feel a little creepy.It seems that most of the officers and generals who appeared at the scene, or the big figures from all walks of life, he seemed to have met in some private gatherings.Those rallies, without exception, were discussion conferences with the theme of opposing Reinhardt!

These people also received an invitation from the head of state they opposed. Could it be that they were only called here to attend the opening ceremony of the exercise?

In order to divert his guilty conscience and prevent himself from thinking wildly, Ryskow took his adjutant, Major Schrabrendorf, and randomly found a name that looked more pleasing to the eye and chatted for a while.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I just introduced to you that the beer in Munich is only delicious if it is served with pork knuckles." Elsay, who was approached by Triskau, was bored anyway, so he just chatted with Triskau to pass the time.

"Oh, yes, yes." Cui Sikao nodded and said nonchalantly.

His heart is not as strong and calm as Elsey, otherwise he would not have failed miserably in the two assassinations of Hitler in 1943 in history.

"Our Munich pork knuckle is eaten with mashed potatoes mixed with glutinous rice. It is really fragrant, and the taste is smooth, delicate, and very chewy." Tieskao continued to speak calmly: "And Munich's Beer can be regarded as the best wine in Germany. Even a person who does not know how to drink, I guarantee that he will be able to taste the sweetness of Munich beer."

Thyskow was worried, but Elsay was not.

First, he didn't know that most of the people present were members of the anti-Reinhardt organization (including Lieutenant Colonel Dresko, who was only opposing some of Reinhardt's radical military policies at this stage, and he officially joined the opposition a few years later. Organizational people.) The lowdown on this.

Second, even if he was sure that Reinhardt's life was less than an hour away.Once he stood on the podium and began to speak, half an hour later, he and the officers around him should die.

Looking at Elsay who was talking eloquently, the other person, who was only an ordinary citizen, suddenly envied him.At least, he doesn't have to worry about these things that he worries about, he just needs to enjoy the benefits that the head of state brings to the people with peace of mind, and live a stable life in an ordinary way.

"Lieutenant Colonel, it's time for us to go." Major Schrabrendorf, who was the adjutant of Tsikow, reminded in a low voice: "The head of state is about to start his speech, and all officers, generals, and invited celebrities must be present. , listen to him carefully."

"Understood," Tiesko waved his hand, and said with a sneer, "Let's go, maybe there will be something interesting later."

"Let's go." The exam patted Elsay on the shoulder, and smiled at this enthusiastic "ordinary citizen": "Enjoy the happy life now."

Elsey nodded and bowed with a smile on her face, but secretly laughed at the other party in her heart.Happy life?When it is confirmed that your head of state is dead, I can receive a large bounty and go to London, England to enjoy a truly happy life.Hurry up, you idiot, and enjoy the interesting things I have prepared for you.

It was 9:50, ten minutes before Reinhardt's scheduled speech.

The invited officers and generals have all arrived at the scene, and the security work on the periphery of the site has also been checked by the 4th SS Division brought by Ross.
